-=PCTechTalk=- WinXP picture file handling bugs...

Hi

I sent this out once before and didn't get much of a response to it. I'm 
curious to see if anyone else has these bugs in their WinXP picture 
handling, because I would like to send a report to MS if they do?

There are picture handling bugs in WinXP.

One is when it comes to renaming a .jpg file…

In Word, all one needs do is just rename the file in the "File Name" window 
slot, and it can be automatically saved as .doc or .txt, depending on what’s 
in the "Save as Type" slot.

But when WinXP is saving pictures, one cannot simply rename the file and 
expect the "Save as Type" slot to automatically apply the .jpg extension, 
even if it is preset in the slot! The file name must be completely retyped 
to include a .jpg extension again, or else it will be saved as an invalid 
file type with no extension applied!

This is definitely not the way Win98 works, and it’s certainly not anywhere 
near to being considered an improvement (IMO) in WinXP!!



The other bug occurs when saving multiple pictures in one folder. Click, you 
save a picture. Click, you save another one, and then perhaps another, and 
another, (and all as the same file type). But where are they? WinXP does not 
show the previous picture files saved in a folder as you are saving them. 
One must close the saving folder and completely reopen it again to see all 
of the picture files saved within!



Again, Win98 does not operate in this inferior fashion, and one would almost 
have to consider this an operating bug!



And then thirdly, WinXP cannot be depended upon to save .gif images. 
Sometimes it does, but many times it just saves a file name on a blank 
screen…

And as far as sending this "bugs" report to MS goes, does anyone on this 
list have a good address for that?

Thanks,
